Sea Level Rise and Environmental Concerns Rob Freudenberg
Sea Level Rise and Environmental Concerns Rob FreudenbergNational Institute For Coastal and Harbor Infrastructure
This document discusses the risks of sea level rise and its potential impacts. It notes that sea levels could rise by 1 foot between 2030-2050, 3 feet between 2080-2100, and 6 feet by 2100 or later. A rise of 6 feet would flood 280 square miles, displace over 600,000 residents and 363,000 jobs. Lower rises of 1 and 3 feet would still impact many people and jobs, though to a lesser extent. The document also examines case studies from cities that face risks like Venice, London, and New York, and considers ecological impacts such as changes to sedimentation, flows, salinity, wildlife habitat and water quality. It briefly mentions governance and financing challenges associated with addressing sea level riseForeseeing the impacts of transformational change final
The document summarizes research examining transformational changes in Oamaru, New Zealand and the region's ability to adapt. The research takes a historical look at how natural resource use and the built environment have changed over 40 years and the effects on communities. Contemporary factors like new technologies, tourism, amenity migration, and environmental regulations are identified as forces for future change. Social impact assessment is being used to understand the collective effects on local work, land use, housing, services, and community well-being. The assessment also examines the community's capacity to adapt to future challenges through governance and collaboration.

Truth how texas and houston compare to new york
June 14, 2020 Much In News About Growth In Cases In Houston, and Texas. This presents data that shows superior statistics for Houston and Texas versus New York State and New York City. Number (and rates per 100,000 Population) need t o compare Houston now to New York City in four to six weeks after reopening.
Covid 19 cases per day per 100,000 popylation 5-15-2020
More weekly update. Focused on average new cases per week, change in cases per week, and average new cases per week per 100,000 population. Provides graphs on six "no doing well states" and detail data in tabular form on all states
Coronavirus data focused on new york comparison and data per population
Continues my weekly report. This focus on (new cases per day) per 100,000 population. Uses a nine day moving average (to remove day to day effects over the week). All states compare to New York State with highest 50 new cases per day per 100K. For states who are at very low levels, also show data for that state with both 0 to 60 scale (with New York) and 0 to 5 cases per day per 100K scale.

Page 4 – 8 are alphabetical by state total cases, max cases per day, 4-24 to 5/1 average cases per day, plus normalized by 100,000 population. Has which 3 charts numbers for detail data per state
Pages 9 – 13 are from state with the highest cases per 100,000 population (New York) to least (Montana). Also shows average new cases per day per 100,000 population in descending order.
Page 14 has distributions of cases/100,000 and new cases per day per 100,000. Also shows the ration of weekly new cases 4/24 to 5/1 divided maximum weekly new case.
Note that for 21 states (and Total US, and District of Columba) had the maximum weekly new cases during 4/24 to 5/1
Predicting coronavirus cases and questions need answering
Another weekend, and another attempt to make sense out of the Coronavirus Case data from states in the United States. Overall, cases per day remain flat (on plateau) with no decline in data. However, other indications suggest increasing irrelevant to use new cases per day for social policy decisions. Indication that new hospitalizations per day might be a better measure.

Criteria to begin relaxing social distancing revision A
Latest weekly update (on weekend) of my projection of the number of Coronavirus case per day by state. Prior predictions modeled following three weeks. Mode VII two weeks ago and Model IX on week ago appear as accurate as randomness in data allows, or new pockets of outbreaks. This version looks at where states are at plateauing or being pose peak new cases per day. Also looks at criteria to begin to relax social distancing guidelines. Revision A corrects Alaska (missing a 0) and Nevada population (one extra 0).

Measuring the effect of social distancing On Coronavirus
This was an attempt to see if I could measure the effect of social distancing. While the method is immature, it definitely shows that movement into regions by infectious persons is defeating "social distancing" in most areas. Only New York and Washington show progress. Texas "social distancing" appears overwhelmed by movement of new infectious persons into Texas
Look at mathematics of flatten the curve
04/05/2020. The United States looks for signs that new Coronavirus Cases per day has started to decrease. We may be close, but not there yet. This presentation looks at changes in Case for United States and a few states. It looks at Cases versus date, first derivative (Growth In Cases Per Day) and finally the second delivery (which show how rapidly the growth per day is decreasing).
Orr's model vii projection of cases to 4 16-2020 created 04-03-2020
Updated with Model VII which has a much sharper decrease in Case Growth Per Day. Model VII achieves peak New Cases per Day within the two week project, while Model VI New Cases continues to grow over the 14 days.
Orr's model vi projection of cases to 4 16-2020 created 04-03-2020
This is the latest weekly update of my projection of Coronavirus Cases over the next fourteen days. Projection two weeks ago was too low (assumed control of spread). Projection on week ago assumed no change in Growth Rate % of cases per day. This version used trend in Growth Rate % cases per day to extrapolate reducing Growth Rate per day over the next 14 days. This should be much more accurate if continued progress in "social distancing" occurs.

2018 is year to consider conversions of tax deferred funds to roth
With the 2018 tax law changes, converting tax-deferred savings into Roth IRAs is advantageous for those who can pay the income taxes. For individuals on Medicare, there are income thresholds that impact Medicare premium costs that must be considered when deciding how much to convert. Converting just under the $267,000 threshold may be best for married couples expecting to complete conversions while both are alive. For those needing access to funds sooner, determining the optimal strategy can be more complicated.
Effect of tax cut and job act for couples over 65
Captures some of my analysis of the effect of Thrump's "Tax Cut and Job Act" on my strategy for managing my pre-tax IRA funds. Specially written for couples over 65 on Medicare due to the effect of Gross Taxable Income on both federal income tax and Medicare Premiums. Identifies general tax planning strategies and also identifies a largely unaddressed risk, which is effect of change in income tax filing status when a spouse dies (from "Married Filing Jointly" to filing as "Single").

Software Reliability For Engineers - J.K.Orr 2015-09-23
This document describes a simplified engineering approach for computing software reliability that was developed for and applied to the Space Shuttle Primary Avionics Software System (PASS). The approach models the software as uniform layers representing releases. It computes reliability estimates based on failure data for each layer over time. The approach was found to more accurately predict reliability than a complex statistical model. The key advantages are that it accounts for changes in reliability characteristics over time due to process improvements and can estimate reliability prior to failures occurring based on relative size of software releases.
Space Shuttle Flight Software (PASS) Loss Of Crew Errors J.K. Orr 2015-08-27
This document summarizes a loss of crew and vehicle (LOCV) error in the Primary Avionics Software System (PASS) that was discovered prior to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster (STS-51L) in 1986. The error caused the PASS system to hang during a Shuttle Mission Simulator simulation of a contingency abort to Rota, Spain for STS-1. The probability of the PASS error occurring was less than 1 in 240. The Backup Flight System was successfully engaged after 10 seconds when the error occurred. The error had been introduced prior to STS-1. It received high visibility within NASA due to occurring during prime crew training and representing the first total lockup of the PASS flight system after
Inspection Defect Missed Prediction Minimum Process Requirements J.K. Orr 201...
The document presents a method for estimating defects remaining after a series of software inspections using minimal additional process steps and collected data. It involves inspectors privately recording defects found before each inspection and identifying defects they previously found during the meeting. A capture-recapture metric is calculated and used with tables or charts along with total defects found to predict remaining defects and establish confidence limits, as validated through simulations. The method aims to provide useful estimates with minimal effort for projects lacking metrics experience.
Annual PASS Failures Vs Known Product DRs J.K.Orr 2015-07-14
This document summarizes data on failures in the Space Shuttle Primary Avionics Software System (PASS) over its 30-year lifespan. It shows that the annual failure rate was correlated with the number of known product defects in the system each year, with about 6% of defects resulting in failures during operational use. Over time, more latent defects were discovered through testing and development, improving the known quality of the software. By studying this data, failure rates in future flight software systems may be better predicted based on the number of undiscovered defects remaining in the system.
capture-recapture Single Defect
This document provides supplemental data to support a previous post about using capture-recapture concepts for software inspections with a single defect. It describes the motivation and background for the research, including a reference study. It then explains that the data is from a simulated study recreating inspections with 3 to 6 inspectors and a single defect. The document presents results from 3 simulations showing the probability of one or more inspectors finding the single defect and the probability of two or more inspectors finding it, grouped by inspection effectiveness.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
